Answer:

The court in Miami, Florida.

Explanation:

Generally, a plaintiff would file a lawsuit in the state where they live. The court can gain jurisdiction over a defendant who lives out of the state. Most states have long-arm statutes that allow them to go after a defendant who does not live in the same state as the plaintiff.
